Berry Goodness Smoothie Bowl (nutrient rich breakfast)

This mixed berry smoothie bowl is bursting with antioxidants and nutrients to start your day refreshed! It also has a nice helping of protein in nuts and collagen to complement the fruits.

It’s a little warmer outside, so smoothie bowls cravings are in full force! I’m loving the colors and combos of this bowl. If you need some blender ideas for beginners, this smoothie bowl is so easy to make.

It’s a great go-to option for a quick breakfast, snack, or post workout meal! The creamy sweetness of the fruit combined with the nutrient-dense toppings makes for the perfect textured balance.

I always try and sneak in collagen peptides whenever I can to promote gut health, bone, joint, and immunity benefits. I use is collagen from Perfect Supplements – it’s certified glyphosate free and from grass fed cows.

Hope you love this smoothie bowl as much as I do!

What is a smoothie bowl and why make one?

A smoothie bowl is basically like a regular smoothie, but slightly thicker so it can be eaten in a bowl with a spoon. They are a great alternative to a not-so-nourishing bowl of cereal.

The reason so many people love smoothie bowls as opposed to regular smoothies is that they are perfect for adding lots of toppings to. You can load them with healthy smoothie bowl toppings like nuts, coconut flakes, fresh or dried fruits, seeds, granola, or whatever strikes your fancy.

Are smoothie bowls healthy?

Absolutely! If you’re wondering what to make in a blender, smoothie bowls are one of the easiest nutritious recipes. As long as you use whole food ingredients, smoothie bowls are one of the healthiest breakfast ideas to try.

Just make sure to avoid processed protein powders with fake ingredients. If you want to add a protein powder, use pure collagen peptides (it’s made from collagen of grass fed cows).

When making smoothie bowls, be sure to add a protein source like collagen, nut butter or egg yolk to balance out the natural sugars in the fruit. This will make it a more balanced breakfast.

If you’re trying to reduce your sugar/carb intake, you can make this berry smoothie bowl without banana. You can also vary the types of fruit according to what you have on hand.

Are smoothie bowls good for weight loss?

Yes they are, especially if you eat this as a full meal. Loading it with fiber rich fruits and maybe even sneaking in some veggies will make this even more weight-loss friendly.

If you’re eating this berry smoothie bowl along with a cooked breakfast, keep in mind this will add to your overall caloric load. This smoothie bowl is best eaten as a full meal for weight loss, or a healthy snack to fill you up.

How can I make my smoothie bowl thicker?

If your smoothie bowl is thinner than you prefer, simply add less liquid next time or use a little more frozen fruit. This recipe is really versatile and there are so many ways to change it up!
